A nice addition to the family for those who have a specific need and do not need the versatility for more general applications.

Pi OS with standard UI on a 2GB machine!!?? I think the system will choke. I feel RPi 4 4GB is a much better choice than going with RPi 5 with 2GB.
This will be definitely a matter for debate. I will have to get the RPi 2GB in hand to test it out. Since I already have RPi 5 8GB version (I paid $100) I am little reluctant to get a 2GB version ( It will cost me ~$60 )

RPi 5 4GB @$60

RPi 5 2GB @$50

Which one would you prefer?

I question the processing increase claim of 150X....

It sounds like the new chip should be used in all RPi 5 models.
